Members of Arms Race, The Chisel, Asid & Mankind Form Metallic Punk Band STINGRAY; Announce Debut EP Feeding Time (LA VIA ES UN MUS DISCOS)
STINGRAY is a newly-minted Punk/Hardcore/Metallic Punk band hailing from London. They've signed to UK-based imprint LA VIA ES UN MUS DISCOS, who has previous issued releases from Los Crudos, S.H.I.T. Limp Wrist, HARAM, Arms Race, Chain Cult, The Chisel, and F*CKED UP. STINGRAY's line-up consists of Nick Sarnella (Arms Race, The Chisel, Asid, Crown Court, etc.) Nicky Rat (Arms Race, Subdued, Annihilated, etc.) Tin Savage (Asid, Mankind,) Rich Clarke (Asid, Chain of Flowers,) and Luca Selvaggio (Gutter Knife, Never, Iradei, sometimes, The Chisel.) STINGRAY played their first-ever gig just this past Sunday. STINGRAY picks up right where Asid left off. Nick Sarnella, Nicky Rat, Tin Savage, Rich Clarke & Luca have re-emerged once more to play savage, filthy Hardcore.
"Chaos and punishment battle for supremacy in the battlefields of Albion once again, as the unyielding carnage of STINGRAY overloads your stereo and stains your brain. Rotting Punk gnashing between Metal-stained flourishes of hateful competence and a touch of total rhythmic lobotomy. Tin Savage's fantastic growled vocals trample his unmistakable London drawl across the five muscular and sickening tracks, the result of which is the musical child of Asid, E.N.T. Shok, B.G.K. and a musical representation of two skeletons strutting through an alleyway on an early 80's Chuy-designed Agnostic Front flyer. Boasting an A-Team of London Punk minds, a real lust for Metallic Punk, à la G.B.H. and enough panache to make an ear-piercing racket sound stylish: STINGRAY are simply on f***ing fire," LA VIDA ES UN MUS DISCOS explains.
STINGRAY's debut EP, Feeding Time, boasts six pummeling tracks—one, "Internal Retreat," a digital-only bonus—which will be released both digitally and on mint green and standard black 7-inch vinyl, is now available for pre-order. It was recorded and mixed by Jonah Falco (F*CKED UP, GAME, Jade Hairpins) and mastered by The Greatest Will Killingsworth at Dead Air Studios with artwork by The Legendary Dream Team of Nicky Le Rat & Tin Sandwich Savage and photography by Harry Barden. STINGRAY's Feeding Time EP is out 9/17 on LA VIDA ES UN MUS DISCOS. Two singles, title track "Feeding Time" and "Electric Elimination" are now streaming exclusively on Bandcamp.
